Keeping Score by Linda Sue Park


Keeping Score is about a girl named Maggie having a passion for baseball, and meeting a man named Jim who teaches her every thing he knows about baseball. But sadly he is drafted away to the Korean war and her communication with him stopped. What could have happened to him? Did he die or is he just ignoring her mail?
This book has a lot of ups and downs, because first Maggie cries because the Dodger lose, but she is happy when she sees Jim. She never seems to get mad when her dad never lets her go to the ballgame. The part that I am in is when Maggie's favorite team, which is the Dodgers lose the championship, and Maggie goes to the fire department to walk the fire house dog. Then suddenly she got the news that Jim was drafted away to the Korean war.
